Luxury footwear brand Jimmy Choo recently unveiled an
exciting Autumn/Winter 2014 campaign starring British Game of Thrones
actor, Kit Harington.
Immaculately photographed by Peter Lindbergh in Los
Angeles , the campaign images were carefully captured
at a private home designed by the late American architect, John Lautner. Known
for his progressive engineering and space-age creative flair, there really
couldn’t have been a more appropriate setting for Jimmy Choo’s latest luxury
effort.
Now I must admit, I'm a huge fan of a celebrity fashion
campaign or two, so when I heard the news that Kit Harington would be
starring, naturally I was stoked. Kit, who is most famous for his role as Jon
Snow in HBO’s critically acclaimed Game of Thrones series, models a
series of fresh designer products, including eyewear, footwear and accessories. I love the fact that actors like to elude their talent on projects of all
nature, and who better to have starring in a global campaign than a man who has
it all. Kit is somebody who can act as well as look the part, both of which are
certainly portrayed throughout his dramatic advertorial imagery.
This slick new campaign tells a story of the British actor and a female model in a love affair, with a modern backdrop intertwined with luxurious fashion pieces. Both the campaign video and striking images showcase the new men’s Autumn/Winter collection in an edgy light, as well as introducing Kit as the new face of Jimmy Choo’s first fragrance for men, Jimmy Choo MAN. And if that wasn’t enough to appeal to your senses, the Carrera by Jimmy Choo sunglasses capsule collection is also highlighted.
Lindbergh’s imagery captures the electric atmosphere of some
intense romantic emotions, while Kit’s masculinity and sensuality seduce
throughout.
Sandra Choi, Creative Director at Jimmy Choo expressed her
thoughts on the outcome of her latest fashion campaign:
“Kit was the perfect choice for the campaign – he has an
innate confidence and projects a playfully rebellious nature. He has an overtly
masculine style that feels effortlessly cool and a great sense of humour. Beneath
that intensity he is a true gentleman. Peter Lindbergh perfectly captured the
spirit of the Jimmy Choo man.”
Set to appear in September issues of high fashion publications
across the globe, the Autumn/Winter campaign is accompanied by an exclusive
behind the scenes interview with Kit Harington himself. This can be viewed on Youtube
